Description

This is a classic counter/burn deck. The plan is to stick an early threat like Delver of SecretsFlip or Young Pyromancer and out tempo your opponent by countering and bouncing everything they play. There is plenty of burn and a couple finishers to close out the game when needed.

Delver of SecretsFlip is the card the deck is built around, my favorite card in all of Magic, I rarely play decks without it. Just remember to blind flip on turn 2 to look like a pro. =P

Young Pyromancer makes his way into every deck I build. It is hard to race and can also generate chump blockers for large threats like Gurmag Angler or Death's Shadow. He has been seeing a little more play in decks like Mardu Pyromancer recently.

Bedlam Reveler is likewise seeing more play recently in Mardu Pyro and other decks, Ive even seen it played in Legacy. It refills your hand in the late game, usually for 2 mana, and gives the deck a bigger threat.

Suggestions

Ive recently been toying with the idea of a one of Chandra, Torch of Defiance. Ive only played a few games with it but it has been awesome so far. Still want to play test some more when I get the chance before adding it for sure.
